I cried with this song.

Cheering song that echoes again January 18 21:21

"You have a very strong 'spring' under your feet."



Now that the exam season is in full swing, there is a song that gently pushes the back of students who are anxious.

The song was played 17 years ago.

At that time, a young child who was still a toddler was in the third year of high school.



"Boyoyon Koshinkyoku"



has been resonating with many people along with the memories of their parents and children.



*At the end of the article, the video from when it first aired in April 2006 and the long version of the lyrics are posted.

The 14th of this month is the first day of the common test for university entrance.



In the middle of the night, a student who finished the exam posted a message on SNS.

"Boyoyon march, it seems that it played. I just heard it, but I cried over the textbook."

♪ At the foot of the rainbow

Similarly, there is a high school student who is drawn to this song.



A brass band club at Eimei High School in Saitama Prefecture.

Last year, he participated in a national marching contest for the first time and won a silver medal.

I was playing "Boyoyon March" at a local event.



Rina Tsunekuni heard this song when she was a child and was the director in her third year.

Now, when things go wrong in my studies and club activities, I am encouraged.

Rina Tsunekuni:


"When I was little, I didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics when I danced, but now I understand. I'm doing my best, believing that I'll definitely succeed, just like in 'I'm watching you at the foot of the rainbow.'"

♪ It's so high

"Boyoyon Koshinkyoku" was first broadcast in April 2006 on the educational program "Okaasan to Issho" for children aged 2 to 4 years old.

It was selected as a "song that gives energy" that seems to be a new year when children start a new life.

Surprisingly, what stood out at the beginning of the broadcast was the reaction from parents, saying, "This is a child-rearing support song."



The concept is that the program does not necessarily have to be in words that children can understand.

Even if you don't understand it when you are young, it may touch your heartstrings in the future as your children grow up.



The lyrics also had such thoughts.

♪ Underneath your feet

On the day of the common test, a mother (48) with a student in her third year of high school was looking back on her daughter's growth, triggered by "Boyoyon March".



"Boyoyon March" is a favorite song that I heard many times when her daughter was just starting to walk.

At the chorus, I hugged her by both sides and made her jump, and she was overjoyed.



The life of my daughter, who grew up quickly, was completely changed by the new corona.

From the time I graduated from junior high school, I was forced to live in the corona wreck, and the graduation ceremony was greatly shortened.



I received a video of the high school entrance ceremony, received a class roster by email with a PDF attached, and listened to the principal in my living room at home in my pajamas.



The first time I went to high school was the rainy season when the cherry blossoms had already fallen.

Without even wearing a brand new uniform, the first time I wore a short-sleeve shirt was for summer.

School events were canceled and school activities were restricted.



When she scolded her for not submitting the event's submissions, she replied, "Because this will be canceled too. Even if you try hard to write it, you'll just throw it away!"



As in-person classes slowly resumed, her daughter found her desired path.

She became motivated to go to a cram school to study the subjects that she could not take in high school.



On the day of her examination, I remembered the childhood of the daughter she had sent off, and there was something welling up at the encounter with her "Boyoyon March".



There is a phrase that I like in the lyrics that the older sister and older brother speak to each other.

"No matter how hard things happen, there's a very, very strong 'spring' under your feet

.



"



You have the strength to endure adversity.” It sounded like an ale.

♪ I'm living a precious moment

Everyone hits a wall, worries about the gap between the ideal and the reality, and feels discouraged.

When that happens, how should we move forward?

March 11, 2011.

Even at that time, some people were supported by “Boyoyon Koshinkyoku”.

“I heard it when I was at a loss with a young child, and I cried so loudly that even I was surprised.”

"When we evacuated and came back, all the parents cried and sang and danced to see the happy faces of their children."

For many years, there is a person who has dedicated his life to creating cheering songs and encouraging others.



Mr. Jiro Ide (44) who once sent a cheering song to Mr. Noriaki Kasai, a ski jumper.

After working as a vocalist in a music unit, he has continued to create songs for companies suffering from the corona crisis and for people who are facing difficulties.



The charm of “Boyoyon Koshinkyoku” is hidden in its “altitude difference”.

Cheer song professionals accept that.


“The beginning of the song is 'No matter what kind of terrible things happen

,' and the second verse begins with 'Why are you looking down like that?'

With the emotional melody, you can bounce back from such a situation with a “boyo yo yon”. There should be a difference in height, but it’s a song that has a mysterious power that makes you feel lighter as you listen to it.”

“This song conveys the message that it’s okay, not just do your best.



My son is about to enter high school. I hope you can listen to this song."

♪ The star drops continue to the first tomorrow

A 48-year-old mother whose third-year high school daughter is facing a big barrier.



She suddenly thinks that it may be a little more than a month before she can support her daughter, who is trying to fly towards her future even though she is at the mercy of her corona misfortune.

Mother


: “Children find their own goals and try to reach out. The drops will continue to the first tomorrow." I hope that thinking about the future and making efforts toward it will shape the future of the children who have been living with the corona disaster in the same way."

By the time the exams are over and the news of the cherry blossoms arrives, my daughter is facing her study desk with the encouragement of going on a graduation trip to Kyoto instead of the canceled school trip after the postponement.

Mother


: “I hope that this song will continue to be a cheering song for children who take on challenges and children who are just starting out, and that it will be sung for generations to come.”

The never-ending corona crisis and unstoppable price hikes.



An era where you can't see the future yet.



It's a song that gently pushes your back, so it may be that it resonates in the hearts of many people.

" Boyoyon


Koshinkyoku
